That's a very unfair accessment of the last several patches
I've submitted! The problem is we have only Paul Brook, who
approves patches to fortran, and he appears swamped with ARM
issues. This isn't an indictment against Paul. It's a simple
fact of life that he has few cycles to burn.
I also build gfortran of amd64 and i386 FreeBSD, so I'm
acutely aware of 64-bit problems.
